New ISP

Dave's also talking about forums, I find them painfully slow to render, partly due to all the eye candy but also the manner in which the many repeated areas of screen are implimented in the code.

Adblock+, Flashblock and Ghostery FTW.

Bonus points for noscript, but I don't find I need that.

ICBW, but I don't think TT offer service over the BTW system - it's their LLU or crappy old ADSL these days..

This.

You have the choice of a couple of dozen ISPs who can use BTs FTTC service.

If only BT would FTTC up my town.. But I've just gotten adsl2+, so can't complain really!

Sadly, BT are currently holding the resellers to a 1-year contract on FTTC connections, so it's still a bit of a lock-in.

No, you really will get a room full of pretty spanish bints if you invite them in to talk to their boyfriends

Does anyone else get "BT infinity - used by wankers" when you see their ads?

For general web browsing, I don't think the extra speed is of benefit on the whole. The limiting factor is often the webserver it seems, esp. as so many sites are pulling stuff out of a database nowadays.It is with streaming and downloading stuff that the difference is noticeable (depending of course on what you had before).

Gee - thanks, Geoff. ;-)

I just checked the various deals around and BT were competitive. I don't want any of the specialised TV etc deals like Sky or Virgin. But won't have Sky on principle, and think Virgin a very inefficient company by the huge amount of paperwork they send me.

Well we have VM here and I must say in recent times after a few push button 1 for sales, 2 etc 3 etc to get thru top an English call centre were there have been some knowledgeable people. And yes, we do get thru the door from time to time them promoting their services, but they do least here in an original Comcast area get the BB right 30 meg down and around 2 up .. fine for purposes but as others have said the rest of the net has to catch up as yet..

We do have ADSL installs elsewhere and have now got rid of BT and use Zen for most all of them but for one Bethere has proved to be good on one odd one....

Plus to all of them, although I'm finding things ok with just AB+

Noscript really screwed the pooch, by slowing everything down and locking things up on occasion, so that led me to stripping out all the add-ons. Annoyingly, it had worked fine for years, until its latest version wouldn't play nicely with FF's latest version.

I get "used by people who knowledge base is very limited".

Don't know, don't care Here in the Ardennes, the only advert I've recognised is the one for snickers

I prefer to use noscript since so many web pages want to run scripts from facebook and/or twatter.

BT is a very inefficient company. It never managed to get my bills right and I had to refer them to the ombudsman.
